I have to agree with you when I say I rather watch a proper hurdle/chase.<br>However,on what do you base your opinion of the race playing into the hands of the anti-jumping loby. What is the percentage of horses killed (if any),while running on the X-country course at Cheltenham,compared with horses killed on the conventional course,espesially bearing in mind the high profile horses eg Valiramix and Gloria Victis killed in resent years. <br>
